Fortune: 98º in the shade [lyrics]

Fortune

98º in the shade

Was in the heat of summer

I still remember

The pavement burnin' through my shoes

And as I walked along

I thought I heard a whisper

The voice of passion so cool

A latin from Manhattan

In her faded blue jeans

She seemed so young and I so unaware

And when she cornered me

With her careful kisses

She broke my heart right then and there

When she said love, it's no game

It's the heat of the fire and the flame

A burnin' love is what she made

Burnin' up 98 in the shade

We traded every secret

From dawn 'till twilight

She made me feel without a care

Was in the salty air of that lazy summer

She took my heart and laid it bare
